Good Lord, the Jazz organization has been quite slutty this season.

Is this the dude from Dayton? If so, I like him.

 

[candrew]

LOL - yet another lefty.

Can an Adrian Dantley comeback be far behind?

I think so, there are a lot of Chris Johnsons.

If it is him, he has a 6-11 wingspan. And averages 20+ in the dleauge.


And what is up with the lefties? Do lefties get extra credit in the advanced metrics or something?

 

[Mongoose]

What is the "fresh roster spot" he is referring to? Did I miss something or is it from signing Sap Jr...

We didn't resign Williams.

Thats it DL keep digging for that diamond.

thanks kkk

 

[SojoDave]

6'5" with a 6'11" wingspan. He's like a mini Rudy Gobert. Let's hope he can shoot from the outside better...

He'll get another commission check this week.

good. jazz is giving us hint that we will be drafting russell

35.4% from three. Wish it was a little higher but not bad.

Good Lord, the Jazz organization has been quite slutty this season.

Just this month:

* waiver Murry
* signed Millsap to 10-day
* signed Williams to 10-day
* signed Millsap to 2nd 10-day
* signed Williams to 2nd 10-day
* signed Millsap to multi-year
* let Williams expire
* signed Johnson to 10-day

C'mon Lindsay, there's still 4 more days in January. Get something done already!

Dude was undrafted and kind of appears to be a DLeague lifer but Wesley Matthews was undrafted too so he can be the one. Junior Sapp appeared to work out.

good. jazz is giving us hint that we will be drafting russell

or Justin Anderson or justise winslow

Is Andre Dawkins still currently on an NBA roster? I have never seen him but in researching him, he seems like he'd be a good fit imo. Duke kid (Snyder's Coach K ties), shooting 45.9% from three (on 10.4 attempts per game) in d-league with 3.5 assists and 3.4 rebounds per so he can help in multiple ways. 6'8.5" wingspan for a shooting guard. I'm not sure if he's too ball dominant or not but I like what the metrics say.

He's a good shooter, and that's it. Really great kid, but he's mentally soft. I just don't see him making it, but maybe he's improved since college. Was one of Duke's worst defenders (and that's saying something).

Interesting. Thanks.
